Use only one word in each gap. There is an example at the beginning (0).

ZOOS
Humans have kept animals in captivity (0) since ancient times. Nowadays, however, zoos
are involved mainly with education, conservation and research.
Today, (1) a zoo takes care of a wild animal, it looks after all the animal's
needs. In a modern zoo, the animal's enclosure resembles its natural environment and if the animal
(2) special treatment, the zoo provides it. The animal's health is extremely
important. Animals are encouraged to behave as they would in the wild. If an animal was locked
up in a cage, it (3) become unhappy. Modern zoos, wanting to avoid this, try to
make their animals feel as (4) they were living in their natural environment.
Experts know that, if we keep destroying animal habitats, many species (5)
be lost for ever. Zoos can help endangered species. As long (6) zoos run
successful breeding programmes, many animals will avoid extinction. If these programmes had been
started earlier, we would not (7) lost so many species already. ``We wish we
(8) known how fast species were disappearing in the past,'' says researcher, John
Davis. ``Many species will continue to disappear (9) we act immediately. That's
why our research is so important.''
Now, with fewer opportunities to see animals in the wild, zoos are often the only places where
we can experience animals first-hand. Education officer, Mary Jackson says, ``Human contact with
animals is important. We'd rather children (10) contact with animals even if
they're in zoos. It's high (11) we all learnt about the problems facing animals
today. And zoos are not only interesting for children. (12) if we are elderly, the
natural world has something new to teach us.''
